So the 4S-5200mAh pack linked in the op = 525g

I own the following pack which weighs only 440g: Graphene Extreme V2 - 4S-5200mAh LCG

After 9+ race days + practice (roughly 50 cycles) I am still showing low IR for this pack and would be interested in seeing the IR readings for the pack in the OP, also worth noting that added weight will effect the performance:
